[cheering]

>> because of them that i survived, because of them that i'm here and doing so well and because of them i'm moving forward. >> carley: there are so many extraordinary people in this country who do amazing things and things you never hear of until last night when we honored six people. there were so many incredible moments within moments, one was sergeant james morris, who works for dps, he received a promoegsz on stage because of his incredible work. 7000 people applauding for him, he flies a helicopter, incredible at tracking. bill melugin said this guy is such a guy's guy and he received a promotion on air and frank

siller awarded 21 people with, paid off their mortgages on stage and they didn't know it either, talk about a tear-joking moment, look at their faces as they are finding out they are going to get their mortgages paid. >> todd: and behind them the pictures of those that are no longer with them, frank siller and the gang, do we have to say they do an amazing job. they give these people ability to not have to worry and to take care of their families, an amazing moment and trooper tony shuck, you don't know her story, she stopped the story from becoming a tragedy, there she is. she drove her trooper vehicle in the way of a speeding 100 mile per hour mercedes in front of a

driver about to hit dozens of people, that woman prevented that. there was benjamin hall, he said when he got hit that first time and he thought to himself, i need to get out of this vehicle or i'm going to die and the reason he did, he thought of his three little girls and thought, do this for him, benjamin hall, our colleague, so great to hear you talking about your recovery and your girls, if you didn't have a tear, i don't know what to tell you. >> carley: this is a video he recorded, he looks fantastic, great to see him after he suffered such significant injury doing the job he loves to do. quickly, all the people, the fans, the people who watch are appreciative meeting them, as

well and one woman, i couldn't believe this, i didn't get to meet her, she dropped off a gift for me, it is an heirloom booties that have been in her family are decades and a bib her son wore and i want to give her a shout out. donna mcmillan, i got the gift and i will cherish it forever, this is the kind of love we receive and want to express that back. >> todd: donna, this is your thank you note, in front of -- >> carley: i don't have donna's address, please somebody tell her i got it and appreciates it so much and i love you. >> todd: amazing night, fans and heroes, great to honor them. >> carley: after the break we'll talk about this story, house republicans tying president biden to his son hunter biden,

it is called conspiracy theories. >> todd: he made it, gianno caldwell. ♪ research shows people remember commercials with nostalgia. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's one that'll really take you back. wow! what'd you get, ryan? it's customized home insurance from liberty mutual!!! what does it do, bud? it customizes our home insurance so we only pay for what we need! and what did you get, mike? i got a bike. ♪ only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

>> joe biden lied to the american people about having any knowledge of hunter's shady business dealings. he was actively engaged in setting up meetings u, taking phone calls in shady business deals. joe biden has been dishonest with the american people and we need to realize if this administration is compromised because of hunter biden shady business dealings. >> todd: turning attention to the biden family business. >> carley: gianno caldwell joins us now, there will be having into the biden family, they started yesterday and the white house said instead of working with president biden on issues important to the american people, they are going after

president biden with attacks and long debunked conspiracy theories. >> i can't believe it. where is my gift, carley. but on a more serious note, biden said good luck to republicans that wanted to investigate his son. the story in the "new york post" was disinformation? i'm beginning to wonder has joe biden been around open cans of paint? they are delusional statements he continues to make. they have an opportunity to pull back the curtain and see what joe biden and his family has been doing, it seems no one cares in the press, hope republicans bring something to bear so americans can know what their government officials have been doing. >> todd: i don't think he needs open cans of paint, the

main-stream media has refused to cover joe, hunter, the entire biden crime family, does that change with congressional hearings? will mainstream media be forced to cover this? >> there has to be something concretes, something really substantial for them to do, something that could bring criminal charges that the fbi and doj have been interested in, otherwise they will bury it like they do every other story, that is what this is about, power grab and the main-stream media oftentimes working hand in hand with the democrats to ensure they have protection and it is unfortunate, this is why we have republican majority and if i'm right republicans got 4 million votes, more than democrats for the house. i'm hopeful we will see progress. >> carley: good point, you

brought up such a good point, the fact he is denying he had knowledge of his son's overseas business is ridiculous, there are pictures. voice mails, photos issue white house log of him meeting with hunter's business partners, why deny if there is not something he shouldn't be doing. tony bobulinski was on fox last night with hannity, and he said he was having meetings with james biden and james biden was saying if joe runs for president again, plausible deniability. >> lying is a business for the biden family, you see it time and time again issue more information that comes out, they say that is not true. you see evidence and they are like, we didn't have anything to do with it, maybe, i don't know. lie after lie we see from the

biden administration and until republicans get in and investigate and hopefully the fbi actually works with them, if they get something and the doj pdoj prosecutes. >> carley: hold hearings and nothing ever happens. what was your favorite moment last night? >> i love seeing those mortgages paid off for families, that was amazing and to have people who didn't know what was going to happen, have their lives changed like that, and i am thankful i witnessed it. >> carley: he said, they got their mortgages paid off and they didn't know until this moment, are you kidding me? the amount of money he raised and fox viewers raised.

>> just seeing fox news fans, great. and people saying they are praying for me and my family, emotional for me, as well. good seeing y'all. >> carley: good to see y'all in person. >> i need y'all to come to florida instead of new york. >> carley: we'll come back. >> todd: thank you much we told you about a brave 10-year-old boy whose quick thinking saved him. he and his dad are here to tell us their story, that is next. fd was beyond help... ...but then i asked my doctor about tepezza.

a >> carley: elite fbi unit is joining the investigation the killing of four teenagers who were stabbed to death and one victim's father said there were

signs his daughter put up a fight. >> todd: ashley strohmier has the latest. >> ashley: shedding light on what could have happened the night the daughter and three others were murdered. his daughter's body had bruises torn by the knife, adding, she was a tough kid, every time you go, you have to go around the house because of the number code, they either knew that or went around and found the door open. the police indicated there was no sign of forced entry and two roommates were in the house at the time and were not hurt, these roommates will be key to finding out what happened that night. the county coroner confirmed manner of death was stabbing to

all four individuals and cause of death was murder. forensic pathologist says forensic evidence will hopefully move this case forward. >> the other two persons in the house may have been unaware of what was going on, which may mean that perhaps the deaths didn't occur at the same time. this many stab wounds and a lot of blood, blood is very slippery and sometimes the perpetrator is cut by the slippage of the knife and blood at the scene can belong to the perpetrator and they will be able to evaluate that. >> ashley: hundreds gathered on campus to honor the four victims, among the mourners,

navaez says they were care-free and loving and we know the bright stars they were on earth they are up there looking down on us, every one of them are the most amazing kids i've met in my life. garrett described himself as xana's high school best friend, i know she would want us to remember the good times, i know you are listening, i love you, always have and always will. hopefully we get answers soon, the fbi is on that case, back to you. >> carley: all right. >> todd: horrible story, so many unanswered questions. man accused of plowing a car into 25 sheriff recruits set to appear in court today. the suspect was arrested and later released from custody last night.

the investigation led them to believe the case was intentional, but they need more evidence leading to the release. five recruits were injured, some with life altering injuries. >> carley: a stranger followed this 10 year old home from school, sammy rushed in a store and asked the cashier to pretend to be his mom, the employee locked the door and called police. sam joins us with his dad. it is good to see you both together and sammy, we're glad you are safe. i paraphrased, tell us in your own words what happened when you were walking home from school? >> can you hear me? >> yes, we can. can you speak up?

>> so well on my way to school, i passed this one shop, i forgot what it is called, but that is where i first met her. she followed me to the one s store -- until i walked in there and told the person who was working there that she's been following me for a while and can you act like you are my mom. >> carley: wow, and that is what happened, this woman said that she knew your family and that you were allowed to buy anything you want, i believe 7-11 and she wanted to engage with you and tell her to go your way. sam, this is your son, you do not know who this woman is, what

was your reaction and how did you find out? >> he had called me, i was on the phone. in the video, he had his phone. i was driving and i left work right away, he was at the store. -- all over the place, i didn't know what was going on, i was scared. i knew since he was at danny's, he was okay. they are amazing. >> carley: danny be funk is the store your son walked into and the cashier did the right thing and locked the door. what made you think to say to this stranger please pretend to

mia be my mom, there is somebody following me. >> i was just thinking the first thing i thought would work and that was the first thing that came to my mind. i was hoping it would work and look at that, it worked. >> carley: sam, do you know the woman, have police caught her? what is her deal? >> i don't know who she is, the police did contact her, 20 minutes after this incidents, there was an overdose call and happened to be that woman, she was laying on the sidewalk, police tried to help her and she denied everything and they told her, you can't stay on the sidewalk, you have to any somewhere, they let her go on her way. >> carley: they let her go on her way? that's another story entirely and it is happening all too

often. sammy, we are so glad that you are safe and you were so smart to do what you did and sam, thank you for joining us, the story had a happy ending, it could have ended differently. sammy is stretching it out, it is early, let you go and you can get back to sleep. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> carley: kids being kids. >> todd: they shouldn't have to worry about stuff like this. >> carley: nancy pelosi is handing over the gavel and giving up her spot. >> todd: who is taking over? we're talking about it with brian kilmeade. he is taking over. ♪ can he stand on his own...

>> several inches of snow in buffalo expected to leave six feet on the ground this week. >> carley: buffalo is dealing with thunder snow slamming the city overnight. what are you seeing out there right now? >> carley and todd, we've got a

little less than a foot of snow, preparing for a long ride, four feet of snow by sunday and officials are warning of dangerous condition with snow potentially falling at rate of three inches per hour and wind gusts up to 35 miles per hour. there were several reports of thunder snow, crews are in full force plowing roads and deploying several resources including 350 snow plows and 42,000 tons of salt. travel bans last night as precaution, parts of i-90 in western new york. buffalo schools are closed and buses are suspended and flights are cancelled for today. buffalo bills fan, no home advantage on sunday, game between bills and cleveland

browns have been moved to detroit and fans will be refunded, theyingly not have option to transfer the game to detroit. >> todd: thank you, with that bring in senior meteorologist janice dean. we were talking to fans and friends from b buffalo, it was bad and we saw the images. >> janice: we had a lot of fans from buffalo at the event and i was telling them they might not get out after this weekend, we're dealing with historic amounts of snow, relatively warm waters of the lakes and then you have cold air pouring over relatively warm waters when you get the pile-up of snow and just the trajectory of snow bans could bring incredible amounts

of snow to buffalo and watertown. so we're going to watch this, it is happening now and will continue through sunday and in some cases, could see rates of two to three inches per hour. there is snow still to come, easily 24-36 inches for the buffalo area and up toward watertown and this could cause structural damage and behind us cold air, talking about power outages, this is potentially dangerous event and that is why they are taking precaution if you live across the area. buffalo and watertown, areas downwind of eerie, multiple feet of snow will be possible, tracking through the weekend. foxweather.com, there is the map to show the first big event was 56.1 inches in 2001, we might

surpass that, that is going to be several day event and when talking about snow rates of two or three inches per hour, travel is going to be impossible and people are urged to stay off the roads, that will be the biggest story this weekend, historic snow event for buffalo and wa watertown. pay close attention and listen to local officials. i feel guilty for being in florida, this is a meet rological event that is something for the record books, pretty incredible. >> carley: hunker down, the snow is coming. thank you. house speaker nancy pelosi says she is standing down as leader of house democrats and new congress after leading the party for nearly 20 years. >> we must move boldly into the future grounded by principles that propelled us this far and

open to fresh possibilities for the future and with great confidence in our caucus, i will not seek reelection to democratic leadership in the next congress. for me the hour has come for a new generation. >> todd: "fox and friends first" co-host brian kilmeade joins us, whether it is hakeem jeffries or someone else how does leadership change without nancy pelosi at the helm. >> brian: first of all, i do not feel guilty not being in buffalo. more on that later, might do a stent on the weather channel, i embraced it. 19 years two four-year terms, she did a lot for her and if you think obamacare is great, you are happy, great idea to rip up the state of the union address, thrilled, i thought that was one of the most horrific things, she

was cheered and should have been ripped. 82 years old, doing something benevolent, you basically have no choice and hoyer all right, i will move, too. hakeem jeffries is talented, but polarizing. >> carley: progressive, republicans are saying could the devil be better than the devil you dent? >> brian: he has a lot of energy, is nancy pelosi proud of what she left in san francisco? nobody watched decline in a city more front and center than we've seen, they give the smack and grab, used to be the place of trolley cars. basically people are scared to go to a giants game. >> carley: great point. >> todd: something we don't understand, i don't understand why is tiktok still a think,

wray sharing concern over data and one thing he focused on was tiktok. listen to this sound. >> the greatest long-term threat to our nation's ideas, innovation and economic security, national security is that from china and they have stolen more of american's personal and business data than every other nation combined. >> todd: went on to say their main concern is tiktok. brian, why hadn't this been banned? head of ftc says it should be banned. >> brian: it is so popular, both my daughters came up to me and said can i speak to you, can you find out from work, is tiktok going to be banned? instagram, snapchat, we could

out innovate china. nancy pelosi is on the same page, china is the problem and challenge. every aspect from the educational institution to the biden farmland to buying land to what they are doing with hacking, we agree that is the problem, there has to be pressure on corporate america. that could be unifying function and number one issue and only thing chris wray could answer was that. coming up on "fox and friends" is enes kanter will be with us, we'll review what happened last night and go over one main thing happening today and that is hunter biden, clear from the republican party they are going to focus on that right away. retort from the white house about the hunter biden investigation is lame, that

means don't look at it, they don't have a big story, saturday at 8:00 on one nation, something todd was going to get to, we'll preview the world cup, people are upset, it is such a crazy place to have a soccer venue, they are hiring actors to pretend they are soccer fans because nobody is showing up, and migrants building were allowed to practice with the players. >> todd: you have a huge day ahead of you -- >> carley: you are doing every show until laura ingraham laura ingraham, unbelievable. >> brian: hard thing is stripping this place down, our great staff will be doing that. >> carley: as we strip this place down, you should tell

people what to do, get dressed. >> brian: you have 19 minutes, you do not have to be clothed to watch "fox and friends first"s, unside rule. >> todd: ftx fall out is worse than we thought and there is an odd admission. >> carley: what he's saying, plus joe concha and tomi lahren on deck, don't go anywhere.

>> carley: ftx founder sam bankman-fried admitting his ethical image was just an act. >> todd: cheryl casone, as if this story could get weirder? >> cheryl: i'm not sure this was a good idea and i'm not even a lawyer. he gave an interview and admitted being woke is just an act, here he is talking to kelsey piper. you are good talking about ethices, ftx says yeah, i had to be that is what reputations are made of.

i feel bad for those that get by this dumb game woke westerners play, we say off the right and everyone liked us, this as new ceo had to -- scorching the company. he says in 40 years of experience, he had never seen a complete failure of corporate control and complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here. questions are floating around later this month in new york, next to ukrainian president zelenskyy and j janet yellen. he is in the bahamas, but they are looking into extradition.

>> carley: love how honest, keep on talking. ticketmaster and taylor swift. >> cheryl: due to high demand on ticketing system tomorrow's public on-sale for taylor swift, heiress tower has been cancelled and the internet is not happy, including alexandria ocasio-cortez, who is calling on doj to break them up, tiktok monopoly got you down? take action with more perfect uniknowio, link to petition the doj to investigate. swifty fans want to hear from her. >> this is really my first rodeo with tiktok and this is going on this whole time and nobody has done anything? what are we doing? where is taylor swift?

i'm sorry, say something girl. >> cheryl: tickets on the resale market are going for $10 to $20,000. this will get bigger. >> carley: the passion, she speaks for it is masses. the internet is not happy, are they ever? fbi director chris wray left hearing early back in august and apparently this is why. >> the reason the hearing had to be cut short, you were flying on a gulfstream jet for a personal vacation to the adirondacks? >> it was not cut short. >> you were going on vacation? >> i was, yes.

>> todd: joe concha joins us now, what does it say about the integrity of fbi leadership when the top guy admits to doing something like this? >> gulfstream jet, no less, why is the fbi director flying with such first class amenities? remarkable. this angers so many about elected officials, when the tough gets going, the tough go on spring break josh hawley called it unbelievable and indefensible and no one could argue with that. this guy has not earned a luxury vacation, not been a shining beacon of integrity. why did the fbi slow walk the hunter biden investigation until after the election? why can't wray answer the question if facebook is sending user info? that is big deal. this is not last time we have

seen the fbi director on capitol hill, 14 whistleblower reached out saying the fbi is targeting conservatives internally, this is a very big deal, not just one whistle blower, stay tuned, it will get more and more interesting for chris wray. >> carley: nbc news is getting a pass from watch dogs, retraction of the report details police did not realize they were responding to an incident at nancy pelosi house and paul pelosi did not try to -- what are your thoughts on this? >> joe: so many more questions than answers around the story and nbc pulling it, give examples, a, b, c, d as to why

the story was pulled. we had a problem and this is why we thought it shouldn't be in the publicd the questions seeme minutes before police arrived, one question asked. why didn't nancy pelosi get out of the home after police arrived, why did he walk back toward the suspect and why did nbc air the report in the first place? i imagine there were standard and only to pull it afterward? again, more questions than answers and as usual, the people that are supposed to be speaking truth to power as in terms of covering the media and being a watch dog around it are giving it a pass because much the subject? play, house speaker wasn't there, her husband and

everything that happened around it like the drunk driving story with paul pelosi didn't get a lot of scrutiny, did it? >> todd: nbc put the -- on the shelf, shouldn't have happened. thank you, elon musk want to put new twitter employees to work and they are not liking that. >> carley: and tomi lahren joins us live in studio next. the winter play was really coming together. until, disaster struck. luckily, replacement costumes were shipped with fedex. which means mr. harvey, could picture the perfect night. we're ready for the holidays, so you're ready for what's next. so many people are overweight now, and asking themselves, "why can't i lose weight?" for most, the reason is insulin resistance, and they don't even know they have it. conventional starvation diets don't address insulin resistance. that's why they don't work. now there's release from golo. it naturally helps reverse insulin resistance,

stops sugar cravings, and releases stubborn fat all while controlling stress and emotional eating. at last, a diet pill that actually works. go to golo.com to get yours.

your lunch every day or kick them out. >> carley: how great was last night at the patriot awards. >> it was wonderful. i love all of y'all, i love to see my fox news colleagues when i saw those recipients get on that stage i tiered up because it was so emotional to watch how excited they were to be there and to be honored. you could tell that they don't get maybe a lot of praise. they don't get the spotlight on them. and they loved it. their families loved it, and i was so happy that i could be there cheering for them. >> todd: key line from gary sin kneels i know where my freedom comes from and it comes from the people in that room that sense that pervaded last night needs to be in society and not just on one night, tomi. >> it is though in the fox news audience every single day they live their lives that way. that's what we need to remind all those unsung heroes out there. if no other audience the fox news audience loves you and appreciates you. you are appreciated and if you watch fox news, i think you see

that everyday. >> carley: 7,000 people cheering for the real american heroes. not the ones who play the heroes on tv. the real ones willing to risk their lives and do so every single day. great event. >> and from all walks of life, too by the way it was beautiful. >> todd: tomi, thank you for getting up with us. see you on "fox & friends" in a little bit. the rest of you tune in, stay with "fox & friends," it begins right now. fun time, my friend. ♪ ♪ ♪ [marching band] ♪ ♪
